My name is Chris and my parents and I figure I have had hypopituitarism since I was two. In a car accident my face hit the dash board, pushing all my baby...
I should have mentioned in a head injury the brain can be thrown against the pituitary or hypothalimus, pinching or squeezing it. At that moment they will...
I forgot to mention I am being treated for Addison's, Hypothyroid and hypogonad (all secondary of course). GH is probably deficient too, but I'm waiting until...
Hi - my name is D'bora and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 2 years ago. I had asked at the time about possible pituitary causes (secondary...
Welcome D'bora, I'm on your side. You are just starting to learn how little most doctors know about the endocrin system. This where you will have to educate...
I used to be heavily into astronomy years ago, but after I got married (1990)that when by the way side, same as my coin collecting that I only picked back up 4...
Hi Chris - thanks for your interest. I did indeed check the search site but did not expect to find an "environmental doctor" in my area. You see, I live in the...
Wow, I can't imagine what living like that would be like. Keep pluggin and don't give up. Any chance the doc you currently use would be able to run the...
The docs here can of course draw blood to send to Vancouver for testing, and can run simple chemistry in town. If they decide on something more exotic, like an...
Doc's office just called, I have a CT scan scheduled for tommorrow morning, less than 24 hrs notice. Oh well, I should just be happy that they are doing...
Took almost two weeks for the results to come back, and even then they didn't even bother to call me to say "BTW, you can relax, you don't have a big brain...
I'm sorry you have to go through being treated like that. An MRI probably would have been better. Keep in mind that sometimes hypopituitarism does not...
Hi Chris; Thanks for your support. Unfortunately, the whole point is I *have* asked for other pituitary hormones to be checked, back in mid/late May. The doc ...
Just ask your doctor to test these hormones (GH, TSH, LH, FSH, Prolactin). I'm surprised he doesn't take some initiative, since specialist are hard to find,...
Just writing to make an introduction. I'm Tracy, and my 15 year old son has an undiagnosed malady which has been effecting him since November, 03. Many blood...

Welcome aboard Tracy. Tracy and I have been in email contact for several months. It's been a long road for her and her son finding a doc that can help him. I ...
Thanks again, Chris! Trav didn't sleep at all last night. :o( I'm going to MAKE him lay off any "energy" drinks, even though he doesn't feel they keep him...

Yeah, caffeine is a no no if you have adrenal fatigue or adrenal insufficiency. I bet that will help him sleep to have it withdrawn. Make sure soda and what...
I discovered that the board was not coming up in searches of Yahoo's health boards so I added the underline in the middle of the title. Please note you will...
Caffein is not a no-no. I enjoy my coffee and tea and there is no recommendation that I have ever gotten or received or read anywhere that I -hypopit ACTH/A.I-...
I've been waiting patiently hoping you would post Jim. I enjoy our debates and discussions. On this subject I must respectfully disagree. Books I've read say...
I think one worry might be that it is supposed to dehydrate us. If we have a condition or situation in which we may easily become dehydrated anyway, I would...

I forgot about the dehydration thing. I better reread those books, it's been quite awhile anyway. Tracy I'm so glad you son got all that rest. It really...
Saturday I worked on replacing runners on a large chest of drawers and fixing the drawers that fell to the ground because of broken runners. Took about 7...
